A bed warm on both sides
Tight, inescapable cuddles
A hand run through hair
A kiss on the forehead
Soft, affectionate smiles
Roughened hands and silver scars
Eyes brimming with love and adoration
A spontaneous adventure on mountain roads, a crystalline lake on the horizon
Singing along to songs as a warm breeze blows through open car windows
Standing together in the rain, a primal moment suspended in time
A shared look and mutual understanding
An intimate knowing shared by no other
Peace, safety, and security
Insistence that an order be followed
A firm grip and heavy-landing hand
Shushing and comforting, soothing and stinging, cheek pressed against cheek
A taking of control, exerted will undeterred by protest
An unbreakable hold even through fidgeting
Dominating and assertive masculine energy, demanding surrender
A satisfied growl
Cuddling in front of the fire on a stormy night
Unwavering trust and devotion
A constant awareness and watchful eye, gaze unwavering
Protection and possession burning fiercely at heart
A following of baser instincts
Bared teeth and promising eyes
An acceptance of violent affection and loving abuse
Dark urges from a beast within welcomed with open arms
A gentle caress and fistful of hair as head rests on thigh
Worshiping, pacifying, and warming in equal measure
A contented purr and quieting of mind
A connection so pure and intimate that two become one
Uninhibited laughter, gruff and beautiful
A matching of moods and energy, or a contrast to brighten the dark
Being completely in tune, intuiting and perceiving that which others do not see
Running a bath or making a nest of pillows and blankets when comfort is needed
A reciprocation of silliness, sarcasm, snark, and dark humor
A willingness to share deeper, more intimate and sentimental thoughts and feelings
A secluded home, holding cherished memories of love, joy, and intimacy
Clothes sharing a closet and keepsakes sharing a shelf
A baby's precious laugh
A hug from behind, cheek resting on head, closed eyes, and soft smiles
Being looked upon with fondness when cuddled up with a stuffie and blankie
A stroll through a market, hand in hand, always protected and soothed
A head lying on a lap, being petted and talked into a peaceful sleep
An easing of ache, no matter when or where
Removal of choice, taking whenever it's wanted or needed
A reminder of ownership, instructed to stay still and accept it
A punishing grip on hip and throat, bruising bite holding in place
The snarl of an inner animal, breathtaking in its beautiful passion and aggression
A permanent marking and claiming, inside and out
An exchange of comfort, reassurance, loving words, and adoring gazes
Falling asleep nestled together, yet looking forward to being used during the night
So now I ask - what do you dream of?
